Important: Launch control can lead to increased wear of components.
During the running-in phase of a new vehicle, do not accelerate the vehicle using launch control. Frequent
use of launch control leads to increased component wear.
Rocking free, e.g. from snow
To rock the vehicle free, e.g. from snow, the gear lever can be moved rapidly from 1st gear, via position "N" to
position "R" and vice versa. The gearshift must be completed within the space of 0.8 seconds as the gear
lever lock (shift-lock) will otherwise be activated.
Vehicle standstill
The clutch is disengaged and 1st gear selected when the SMG control unit detects that the vehicle is stationary.
Vehicle standstill is detected by means of the accelerator pedal position, the wheel speeds and the engine
speed. The clutch id disengaged and 1st gear selected irrespective of the drive program (manual or automatic
mode).
An audible warning is triggered immediately if the driver's door is opened while the engine is running. At the
same time, the "N" symbol flashes nine times in the LC display in the instrument cluster. This draws attention to
the fact that a drive stage is still engaged and the transmission is not in position "N" or "P".
If despite this, neither the pedals, the gearshift paddles nor the gear lever are moved, the gear will automatically
be cancelled after approx. 2 seconds.
Gear lever position neutral and ignition off
When the gear lever is in "Neutral" position and the ignition is switched off, the "N" symbol flashes in the LC
display of the instrument cluster. In addition, the multi-audio system controller (M-ASK) will emit an acoustic
warning.
Emergency program
In the emergency program, the vehicle remains operational, albeit with limitations.
Only the gear lever positions "R", "N" and 1st to 3rd gears are available. Depending on the type of transmission
fault, the vehicle may no longer be operational after a vehicle standstill.
